Crab Canapés

Cut bread in slices one quarter inch thick, three inches long, and one inch and a half wide. Spread with butter and brown in oven. Mix one cup chopped crab meat, one tablespoon lemon juice, two drops Tabasco, one half teaspoon salt, a few drops of onion juice, and two tablespoons olive oil. Mark the bread diagonally in four sections and spread them alternately with melted cheese and crab mixture. Separate sections with finely chopped pimento.
